To find the circumference of a circle, we use the formula:
C = π × d
or
C = 2 × π × r
Where:
- C = circumference
- π (pi) ≈ 3.14
- d = diameter
- r = radius
We’ll go through each problem one by one, using the given measurement (either radius or diameter), and calculate the circumference. We’ll round to one decimal place as shown in the answers.
---
1) Diameter = 5 cm
C = π × 5 = 3.14 × 5 =
15.7 cm ✔
2) Radius = 3 m → Diameter = 6 m
C = π × 6 = 3.14 × 6 =
18.84 → 18.8 m ✔
3) Diameter = 8 mm
C = 3.14 × 8 =
25.12 → 25.1 mm ✔
4) Radius = 1.5 m → Diameter = 3 m
C = 3.14 × 3 =
9.42 → 9.4 m ✔
5) Diameter = 11 mm
C = 3.14 × 11 =
34.54 → 34.6 mm? Wait — let’s check:
3.14 × 11 = 34.54 → rounds to
34.5, but answer says 34.6.
Hmm — maybe they used π = 3.1416?
3.1416 × 11 = 34.5576 → still rounds to 34.6 if rounded up? Actually, standard rounding: 34.54 → 34.5. But perhaps the worksheet uses π = 22/7? Let’s test:
22/7 × 11 = 242/7 ≈ 34.571 → rounds to
34.6 ✔ So likely they used 22/7 for some problems.
But looking at others — let’s stay consistent with π = 3.14 unless needed.
Actually, let’s recalculate all with π = 3.14 first, then adjust if mismatch.
Wait — Problem 5: 3.14 × 11 = 34.54 → should be 34.5, but answer is 34.6. Maybe typo? Or different pi?
Let’s try π = 3.14159:
3.14159 × 11 = 34.55749 → rounds to
34.6 ✔ Okay, so probably using more precise pi.
But for consistency, since most match 3.14, let’s assume rounding rules vary slightly. We’ll accept the provided answers as correct based on their calculation method.
Continuing:
6) Radius = 7 cm → Diameter = 14 cm
C = 3.14 × 14 =
43.96 → 44.0 cm ✔
7) Diameter = 17 cm
C = 3.14 × 17 =
53.38 → 53.4 cm ✔
8) Radius = 9 mm → Diameter = 18 mm
C = 3.14 × 18 =
56.52 → 56.5 mm ✔
9) Diameter = 8½ m = 8.5 m
C = 3.14 × 8.5 =
26.69 → 26.7 m ✔
10) Radius = 13 mm → Diameter = 26 mm
C = 3.14 × 26 =
81.64 → 81.6 mm? But answer says 81.7
Try π = 3.1416: 3.1416 × 26 = 81.6816 → rounds to
81.7 ✔
11) Diameter = 15 cm
C = 3.14 × 15 =
47.1 cm ✔
12) Radius = 4½ m = 4.5 m → Diameter = 9 m
C = 3.14 × 9 =
28.26 → 28.3 m ✔
All answers match when using π ≈ 3.14 or slightly more precise value, with proper rounding to one decimal place.
Final Answer:
The circumferences are correctly calculated as follows:
1) 15.7 cm
2) 18.8 m
3) 25.1 mm
4) 9.4 m
5) 34.6 mm
6) 44.0 cm
7) 53.4 cm
8) 56.5 mm
9) 26.7 m
10) 81.7 mm
11) 47.1 cm
12) 28.3 m
